Plymouth Review – July 8, 1903

William Ebelt, who had made his home in Lyndon for several years, died
last Thursday, his death being caused by apoplexy. Mr. Ebelt, who was
in his sixty-first year was born Feb. 14, 1843. The funeral took place
from the house at one o’clock Saturday afternoon, the Rev. Halboth
conducting the services and internment was made in the Cascade cemetery.
Saturday was the day set for the marriage of a daughter of the deceased,
and as it was his request that the young couple should not alter their
plans, the marriage ceremony was performed just prior to the burial service.
At the appointed hour the casket was closed, the bridal party filed into
the room, and after pronouncing the word which made the two young hearts
happy, Rev. Halboth turned about and read the burial service. A like occasion
has never before been known in this vicinity.

Mrs. Frank Derrwaldt has recently given two very enjoyable parties at
her home on Reed street. The first afternoon twenty-five ladies were invited
and for the second, which was Friday afternoon, thirty-five invitations
were issued. Friday afternoon the ladies indulged in a potato race, carrying
potatoes on a knife between two designated points, Mrs. L.W. Tillotson
being the winner of the prize, a china bon bon dish. A novel way was had
of securing partners for supper by means of candy hearts whereon were
printed various mottos, the two having the same words going to supper
together.
